I finished this Gothic Arch book that I had been working on for the past few weeks over the weekend. Lots of springy colors and Paper Whimsy images and alterables throughout it. It’s been awhile since I’ve made one — and it felt good to finally get some art done from beginning to end.

I came across this a few weeks ago on Pinterest and had to share…made me feel better about my artist self! ;) Happy Monday!

    Oh; how I love this arch book Nancy! Each page is as beautiful as the next one! Glad you have some sun and you can get the boxers out to enjoy! We have bright sun, blue sky but still very cold. We might luck out with warmer temps by week’s end. xo

    The combination of sweet faces, pretty papers, poetic word fragments and the sweetest of embellishments makes for a wonderful combination when in your artistic hands.

    Hello Nancy, I have been thinking about you and hoping you are doing well. Have you had any spring at all yet? I hope at least there are some spring bulbs coming up for you. It is cold here today, and we are in the south!
    Your Gothic arch book is amazing. It must have been so much fun to do all those wonderful collages! I love how it turned out!
    Very funny image : ) I never thought you were weird….but very very talented!
    Hugs,
    Terri
